Damoh (Madhya Pradesh) : After the controversial poster of a Damoh-based school featuring Hindu girls in ‘hijab’ went viral,  Home minister Narottam Mishra has ordered a probe panel.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Damoh Collector Mayank Agarwal has stepped in to address the matter promptly. The office has formed a committee comprising officials from various departments, including the Nagar Palika (Municipal Corporation), Chief Medical Officer (CMO).

However, the school claimed that the girls were wearing scarf as a part of their school uniforms. Apparently, it was mistaken as a ‘hijab’ by some right-wing activists.

The engagement of multiple departments highlights the collaborative approach being taken to address the concerns raised by the controversial posters.
